An exclaimation point is followed by a comma-separated list of addresses. The addresses may be single host addresses (e.g., fe80::2a0:ccff:fedb:31c4) or they may be network addresses in CIDR format (e.g., fe80::2a0:ccff:fedb:31c4/64). If your kernel and ip6tables include iprange support, you may also specify ranges of ip addresses of the form <emphasis>lowaddress</emphasis>-<emphasis>highaddress</emphasis></para> <para>No embedded whitespace is allowed.</para> <para>Exclusion can appear after a list of addresses and/or address ranges. In that case, the final list of address is formed by taking the first list and then removing the addresses defined in the exclusion.</para> </refsect1> <refsect1> <title>FILES</title> <para>/etc/shorewall6/hosts</para> <para>/etc/shorewall6/masq</para> <para>/etc/shorewall6/rules</para> <para>/etc/shorewall6/tcrules</para> </refsect1> <refsect1> <title>See ALSO</title> <para>shorewall6(8), shorewall6-accounting(5), shorewall6-actions(5), shorewall6-blacklist(5), shorewall6-hosts(5), shorewall6-interfaces(5), shorewall6-maclist(5), shorewall6-params(5), shorewall6-policy(5), shorewall6-providers(5), shorewall6-route_rules(5), shorewall6-routestopped(5), shorewall6-rules(5), shorewall6.conf(5), shorewall6-tcclasses(5), shorewall6-tcdevices(5), shorewall6-tcrules(5), shorewall6-tos(5), shorewall6-tunnels(5), shorewall-zones(5)</para> </refsect1> </refentry>
